SeqNjoy: Complete RNA-Seq workflows in your Desktop

The RNA-Seq GUI

SeqNjoy is a stand-alone application for generating and analyzing differential gene expression results from RNA-Seq experiments. Analyses can be performed from the very initial step, using the files containing short reads (FASTQ files), or from an intermediate stage, using already aligned reads in BAM/SAM files.

The main results of SeqNjoy are annotated list of genes differentially expressed (or not) between groups of samples. These results are presented both as standard tables and as interactive pages that allow the user to apply custom filters and to download ready-to-publish figures (scatter-plots).

Computer Requirements

	Minimum	Recommended
Architecture	64-bit
Operative System	Windows, macOS, Linux (Debian or Fedora-based)
Web Browser	Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
RAM Memory	8 GB	16 GB
Hard Disk	500 GB	1 TB

Minimum requirements are adequate for bacterial genomes. Recommended requirements are adequate also for eukaryotic genomes.
Some of the steps performed by SeqNjoy may take many hours to complete. It is recommended to run the application with no other intensive processes consumming CPU or RAM memory.
Please disable Sleep Mode or Hibernation in your computer to avoid interruptions of long lasting processes
It is recommended to install SeqNjoy on a dedicated hard disk, not shared with other documents or applications. Installing SeqNjoy on an external, USB-connected, 4-5 TB hard disk is a convenient choice that helps keeping organized all files of multiple projects.

Downloads
